Home care near you in St. Augustine Shores
St. Augustine Shores is one of the most established communities in south St. Augustine, with walking trails, a pier on the water and the Riverview Club for gatherings. When your mom or dad needs a little more help to keep enjoying it all, home care near you in St. Augustine Shores can begin with just a few hours a week.
Our caregivers help with bathing, dressing and meals, give medication reminders and drive to appointments and the store. We screen and train each one, then match them to your loved one so the same caregiver keeps coming back. We also take good care of our caregivers, with real support and time and a half on holidays, which is why they stay.
Close to the hospital, and to rehab
UF Health Flagler Hospital is a short drive north for families in the Shores, and Moultrie Creek Nursing and Rehab Center is also on the south side of St. Augustine for a short rehab stay. When it is time to come home, a caregiver can be there that day, review the discharge instructions with you and keep the follow-up appointments on the calendar.
In home care in St. Augustine Shores can grow from a few visits to care around the clock if your loved one needs it. A person answers our phone day and night, and the free in-home assessment gives us a look at the house and the daily routine before the first visit.
Older homes and old friends in St. Augustine Shores
Some of the first homes built in St. Augustine Shores still stand near the front of the community, with newer houses and condos filling in around them. In a house that has seen decades of family life, a caregiver fits into the routine, keeping the kitchen and laundry under control, cooking meals your loved one likes and helping with bathing on the mornings that need it.
The week has room for more than errands. Doctor visits, the pharmacy and the shopping all go on the calendar, and so does something social, like a round of horseshoes, a swim in the community pool or a visit with friends at the club, with a caregiver driving and staying close.
Strength comes back in stages after a hospital stay, maybe a short stretch of the community trails at first and then the full loop. Senior care in St. Augustine Shores reaches the family as well. Your mom's caregiver can prop up the phone so she sees the grandchildren's faces, and relatives who can't visit often get regular word from our office.
Frequently asked questions about home care
Click or tap a question to see the answer.
What's the difference between home care and home health care?
Home care, also called non medical home care, helps your loved one with everyday activities so they can stay safe and comfortable at home. A trained caregiver or home health aide assists with personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with daily tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship.
Home health care is skilled medical care provided by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It covers clinical tasks that require a nurse's oversight, such as IV therapy, wound care, and medication administration. Home health care is usually ordered by a doctor for a set period of time, often after a hospital stay.
Many families use both, with home care filling in the daily support between skilled nursing visits.
How quickly can care start?
In urgent situations, we can often start care the same day. For most families, care begins within one to two days. That gives us time to complete your free in home assessment, create a custom care plan for your loved one, and carefully match them with the right caregiver. We move quickly without cutting corners, because your loved one's safety and comfort always come first.
What happens during the free in home assessment?
During the free in home assessment, we take the time to get to know your loved one and your family, including their daily routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. We also complete a home safety assessment and share any recommendations to help prevent falls and make the home safer, at no charge. From there, we create a custom care plan and help you decide on the home care options and schedule that best fit your loved one's needs.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver each time?
We always do our best to keep the same caregiver with your loved one, and we note your preferences so every visit feels familiar and comfortable. Thanks to our low caregiver turnover and excellent training, most of our clients see the same friendly faces week after week. Of course, caregivers need time off and get sick sometimes too. When that happens, we let you know right away and send a wonderful, fully trained replacement who is already familiar with your loved one's care plan. That's the benefit of working with an agency. You're never left without help.
How much does home care cost?
The cost of in home care depends on several things, including where your loved one lives, how many hours of care they need, how often visits are scheduled, and the type of care required. Because every family's situation is different, the best way to get an accurate price is through our free in home assessment. There's no obligation, and we'll create a care plan that fits your loved one's needs. You'll always have a clear, written estimate before care begins, with no surprises.

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Just call our main office number and ask to speak with someone. A real person from our team will help you right away, whether it's a schedule change, a question, or an unexpected situation. We're always here for you.

What families are saying
We brought Always Responsive Home Care into our home to care for my husband, and their caregiver, Adwoa, quickly became part of our family. She was gentle and patient with him, and she always treated him with dignity. She noticed the little things, like how he liked his coffee and when he needed a rest before he said a word. The office team was just as wonderful. Every time I called, someone answered and took care of what we needed. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me peace of mind I hadn't felt in a long time. Thank you, Adwoa and the whole Always Responsive team. We are so grateful.
